Nope. It was on the other week, and was going to watch it, but i missed it. :("

Oh dear! I'm sending you a copy right now. this is one film you cannot miss!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Delivery estimate is the 31st so it might be there by the weekend ☺

[Rachmi]

Agree, Stardust was awesome. You cannot miss it, Abbie :D I also love the book, it was quite different but as awesome as the movie.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I still need to read the book! Haven't gotten round to it yet :(

[Abi]

Ooh, thank you! :) It does look really good. :)

I've heard his books are amazing, so i need to start reading some myself.

[Rachmi]

It wasn't my favorite from Neil Gaiman but still...it's Neil Gaiman! if you know what I mean :D

[Abi]

Haha, i know what you mean. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't think I've read anything by him.

[Rachmi]

He's one of my favorite authors. Speaking of Stardust I remember now I still have 3 Neil Gaiman books that I need to read ASAP :D

There's a buddy read for [bookcover:The Graveyard ..."

Oh, I didn't know about it. Thanks Abbie! But I only have Indonesian version so I will read it in Indonesian. Can I do that?

[Abi]

I don't know who's buddy reading it, i just remember adding it to the groups shelf.

Doesn't matter what language you're reading in - You can still share your thoughts. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't see why not ☺

[Rachmi]

Okay, then. I'll go to its thread. Thank you....

[Noella]

I didn't make sure to ask... Is Ruby red OK for the box 'set in the past'? I submitted a review few weeks ago for that box and I wanna make sure that counts! (if not, I'll find something else to read and fill that box~)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's set in 18th century london isn't it?

[Mei]

I think it's categorized as Historical here in Goodreads.

[Abi]

Do you mean ?

I really liked the movie, I didn't like the book as much as the movie... I thought the movie had a better storyline!

[Inês]

Does this count as published in 2013?

[Abi]

Yes :)

[Inês]

Thank you :)

[Audrey]

Would be blue enough to be considered as a blue cover?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think this version would be -

[Abi]

That has more white in, and the back branches are greyish.

This cover - works for it though.
If you just put that one, when you submit your review, it will count. :)

[Audrey]

OK. I wasn't sure. Thanks guys. :)

[Noella]

@Abbie yes

[Abi]

Noella wrote: "@Abbie yes"

It's labelled as Historical fiction, so yes, it will count. :)

[Noella]

@Abbie awesome thanks

Absolutely agree. First book I read by Neil Gaiman!

[Heather]

Vampire Academy will be finished tonight by me for the First in series box!!

[Abi]

Well done, Heather. :)

[Heather]

thanks that would make me have 3 boxes completed correct? and Also is set in 1620 so would that count for set in the past?

[Abi]

I liked the book more than the movie :D Maybe it was because I read it first before watch it. But then, it didn't matter for me since both were by Neil Gaiman :D I mean he was one of the producers of the movie.

What time would that end for EST?

[Abi]

I'm not sure, Heather.

What time is it, where you are now?

I can work it out for you.

[Abi]

Okay, so from going off the EST clock on there, you're 3 hours ahead, so it would end at 3am for you.

[Heather]

YAY I am 3 hours ahead of that time

[Heather]

one last quick question..Would that mean midnight when it turns the 29th or midnight when it turns the 30th?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

When it becomes the 30th ☺

[Abi]

When it just turn the 30th.

So you finish at 3am on the 30th.

[Heather]

ok thanks girls that clarifies it for me

[Abi]

Last day!

You have just over 21 hours to submit your reviews. :)

[Christina]
